“Spot on for what we needed on our short break”

Mr Lamb, Durham, November 2016

“Selecting this Berwick-upon-Tweed holiday cottage could not have been better. From the moment Mrs Kathleen Jamieson warmly greeted my husband and I, we felt confident that our Sykes choice would suit us in every respect, and so it proved to be. Quiet location. Clean. Cosy. All necessary facilities provided. Good nights sleep assured in comfortable beds. Only a few minutes from all necessary provisions when required. In fact, true to say that we have no negative points to express. Of special mention, is that during our stay, I urgently required private dental treatment. Unfamiliar with which local source to resort, without hesitation, Mr Jamieson drove me to his families recommended surgery. My most grateful thanks for his kind help. Problem solved. In closing, should we ever visit the area again, without hesitation (if available) our cottage choice would be "West Sunnyside House." If not, Sykes would be our preferred confident source to search.”

Mrs Sherren, Ferndown, September 2016

“This property was exceptionally clean and cared for. The owners were most welcoming and helpful.”

Mr Stone, ROMSEY, June 2016

“The accommodation was spotless, the cleanest we have been to. There was a lovely layout and everything we needed for the week. The owners were lovely; very friendly but did not intrude on our week. It was situated in a quiet location yet close by for sightseeing Lindisfarne, Edinburgh and local interests including a honey farm and of course Berwick town.”

Mr Boden, MIDDLESBROUGH, March 2016

“The location is lovely, near to a beach or leisure centre for rainy days. A lovely clean house, the photos don't do it justice really, it is bigger than it looks.”

Mrs Mcilroy, Burnley, August 2015

“This is a lovely property with very nice owners and I would recommend a stay here.”

Mr Davey, WHITEHAVEN, May 2015

“The owner was very friendly, made us very welcome. The accommodation was perfect, very clean tidy and had everything we needed. Perfect location for exploring North or South of the borders. We shall take away some very happy memories.”

Mrs Stevenson, STOKE-ON-TRENT, April 2015

“The apartment was warm, light and the owners were friendly and helpful. It is an excellent location for walking to the town and beach.”

About the location

BERWICK-UPON-TWEED

Alnwick 35 miles; Holy Island 10 miles; Edinburgh 56 miles.

Berwick is England’s most northerly town and changed hands 13 times whilst the English and the Scots fought for around 400 years for control of the Borders! The history is delightfully shown in the town’s museum. Nowadays this small coastal town retains much of its charm, with quaint narrow streets enclosed within great Elizabethan walls, fortified with bastions, built against attacks in the 1500s and walks along these offer spectacular views over the coast and river estuary to Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. The town even boasts some medieval parts and the most Georgian architecture in any English town and offers excellent amenities including shops/supermarkets, cafés, organic food shops, restaurants and pubs, a weekly market and a quirky micro-pub and brewery whilst the Maltings Arts Centre provides an extensive programme of cultural events including music, theatre and cinema. Berwick is an ideal base to explore Northumberland’s many fabulous castles dotted along the coast and up into the Scottish Borders where there are many stately homes to visit. Regular tours of the town are conducted by a local historian and river boat cruises are also available. The River Tweed has always been famous for its salmon and is still regarded today as one of the best salmon fishing rivers in the country, with Berwick still having a very small fishing fleet. Fishing, golf and riding are all available locally and there is a leisure centre in Tweedmouth offering a pool with waves and flume. One mile away is the seaside resort of Spittal, with its sandy beaches. Berwick has excellent public transport and there is a frequent train service to both Newcastle, Edinburgh and Durham.
